re-encoding
It came to my attention that Apple is ditching flash. Since all my videos were encoded as .flv, this news is very sad.
I once had a hope that the flv would be the media format for the future. I was wrong, dead wrong… It is good thing that I don’t have so many videos right now(ha ha ha, because I knew something’s going to happen?!).
Google just released a new media file format called WebM (http://www.webmproject.org/) which looks very promising. It is based on Vp8, the On2’s codec, and MKV will be the container. By the way I had no idea that Google has bought On2. For anyone encoding & uploading their own videos should look into this so that you won’t be left out from the rest of the world.
I don’t know how Apple reacts to this. Finger-crossed for their support!
